Minnesota high license law has been
in effect nearly month and has resulted
at Minneapolis 10 lessening the number
OF saloons, while bringing more money
into the treasury, and Indirectly In sup
pressing illegal liquor selling. Last
year 1874 saloons, at $500 each, paid In
$l67, 600, while this year 1866 saloons
have paid in $1,000 each. II is estimated
that nine more saloons will take out Ii
censes this year, so that S205 900 will be
realized. The leading saloon keepers
say that they are willing to cooperate
with the city authorities In putting
down the illegal sale OF liquor, and have
formed illegal retail liquor dealers as
ISOLATION" to protect their interests and
to see that the laws relating to the bust
ness are enforced.

master Of the hounds to unleash before
giving tongue, was heard yelping about
the endorsement OF Cleyeland's admins
tration by the increased demo-
cratic majority, but the metropolitan
press kept quiet. Each succeeding day
has toned down the news. "Majorities"
and "pluralitIes" have been skilfully
made to do duty for each other but the
real nature Of the Waterloo cannot
longer be hidden. From the returns as
received, the falling OIL in the demo-
cratic vote is in strong contrast with the
republican gains. The counties heard
from show a net republican gain OF
"a 900 and in the same ratio the gain for
the state will be 3S,675. AS the majority
in the Cleveland election was only 81
$50 it looks very much as though there
was republican victory lowering in
the air. The democrats claim MAORI
ty Of $500 and the republicans OF 1000.
"The official vote alone will decide" 90
say the dispatches. This is food for
reflection. Those who have claimed
that the democratic administration OF
Mr.. Cleveland has wonderfully strength
ened the party are welcome to ell the
comfort that the situation affords. The
encouragement that the situation in
Kentucky affords the republican party
Is most timely, and strong confidence
has been engendered in the ability of the
party to break the ranks of the solid
south in 1883.

HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.

Our little son will be four. years of age on
the 18th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin
We called In a physician who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received lit
tie or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to be
hives in an aggravated form, became larger
IN blOtches, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up In the
night and rub him With soda in water, strong
lniments, etc. Finally, we called other ply
siCians, until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse ana worse, until about
the 10th of last July, when we began to give
him CUTICURA RESOLvENT internally, and the
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally Y. aud
by the last August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of tue ResOlvent
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible malady. In all we used less
than one half of a bottle of Cuticura Resolv-
ent. a little less than one box of Cuticura, and
only one cake of Cuticura Soap.

WHAT AILS KENTUCKY.

The sagerness of the democratic mind
In Texas for the details of the great vote
taken yesterday, and the complete alb
sorption OF mems mind in the closing
hours of this great struggle have shut
out consideration of the political situe-
ton In Kentucky. Her gubernatorial
election was held early this week. 1t
was an off-year in politics and the state
was accepted as SO sure to give an over
whelming democratic majority that
very little attention was paid to returns
and details. A confederate war general,
popular at home and noted during the
war as the man upon whom his superior
officer thrust the ungracious service Of
surrender, Gen. Buekner was confident
ly looked to as man who only needed
the formality Of a vote, and the demo-
cratic journals reported an overwhelm-
ing victory as a matter Of course. There
was said to be a great falling Off in the
republican vote OF the state, and yet
there was an unaeoOuntable increase in
the number OF republican legislators
chosen. Occasionally one Of the yelping

Now that defeat stsres the democracy
of Kentucky in the face, it is aFtOnish-
ing to see how the critics and ceusOrs of
the party turn to the stump-tsil mule Of
the star.eyed goddess Of reform and ao-
cuse the groom of that sacred animal Of
the unexpected result. Watterson can
not help the situation. He was forced
into the endorsement of Grover by the
bowling cries of the administration or
gans and is now reaping the reward
which all wise men reap who follow the
advice Of fools. Had Henry been true to
his convictions and still waged war
against the great incompetent of his
party, there would very likely have been
q marked change in the outcome of this
Kentucky election. As the republican
party is not mourning over the event, 1t
is not particularly necessary to point
out the essential quackery with which
the distinguished old citizen, Kentucky,
is being ebated by the democratic ply
sicians. 1t looks now as though it was a
case Of general debility, and that geDu.
